Lotto lout in pub gas attack

A witness said police used CS gas and Carroll, 24, “went down and screamed like a girl”.

The trouble began at 11pm when a man locals named as a bare-knuckle fighter called Paul ran into the street and challenged Carroll to a fight.

A policeman arrived and called two vans and five police cars to the White Horse near Carroll’s home in Downham Market, Norfolk. Witness Simon Ullathorne, 36, of Grays, Essex, said: “Paul was livid about something.

He was swinging all over the place.” he said it took 30 minutes to get Paul and the other man, believed to be Carroll’s driver, into a police van. Carroll was allowed to go home.

A Norfolk Police spokesman yesterday said: “A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and a 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of obstructing police. They remain in police custody at this time.”
